[Help needed] Undumpable carts and titles

[d0k3]

The cart dumper still has problems with certain (or just one?) DSi exclusive titles and flashcarts. To get behind the reason of this problem, I'd need help from people who own DSi exclusive carts and (exotic?) flashcarts. You can use either Decrypt9WIP or GodMode9 for the dump (the internal code is the same), and it would be great if, in case of a failed dump, you could try the same cart in Woodumper.

Use the most recent builds of D9 / GM9 from here:
https://d0k3.secretalgorithm.com/

Woodumper is included in YSMenu:

Here's a list of DSi exclusive titles:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DSi#Software_library

The DSi title list, in short form, and the current results:
Face Training (E): dumpable in new test build, confirmed by @WinterMute, works in Woodumper (r88)
Foto Showdown (J,U): known working (U), confirmed by @GerbilSoft
Hidden Photo (E): known working, confirmed by @WinterMute
Picture Perfect Hair Salon (U,E,A): known working (E), confirmed by @WinterMute
System Flaw (U): known working, confirmed by @GerbilSoft and @WinterMute
DSi XL Demo Video (U): dumpable, confirmed by @einstein95 ,needs confirmation via Woodumper

Flashcarts with known problems:
R4i (r4.ndsi.in): not dumpable, confirmed by @tetsuo55, doesn't work in Woodumper either
M3 DS Simplay: not dumpable, confirmed by @tetsuo55, works in Woodumper
DS-X (1): dumpable, but corrupted, confirmed by @ApacheThunder
DS-X (2): falsely detected as a CTR card, confirmed by @WinterMute
DSTT: detected, but not dumpable, confirmed by @d0k3

Help on this is greatly appreciated. If you test one that is available in multiple regions / revisions, also let us know the region and the revision.

Nintendo DSi XL Demo Video (U): Dumps, "Invalid secure area (85ED82B2 61D0B841)"

The only cart i havent sold off is Pokemon White 2, not sure if thats any use.

to add to einstein95's contribution: you can get a wooddumper dump of that cart fom a no-intro set

[einstein95]

@mariomadproductions: no, that's not a wooddumper dump. That's a dump using a dumper created by Normmatt.

@einstein95 - That error is actually not a problem. I'll have that error message removed by the next release, and GM9 already does not have it. I didn't even know there were demo carts....

the "Nintendo - Nintendo DS" and "Nintendo - Nintendo DSi" databases on this site may be useful for you

[WinterMute]

Hidden Photo (E):dumped & verified
Picture Perfect Hair Salon (E): dumped & verified

[d0k3]

That research would go nowhere without @WinterMute's help :). Thank you! I see where this is going, Face Training maybe the only undumpable title left in the end.

Just got Foto Showdown (U).

• Game ID: DMFEA4
• Revision: 00

Dumped using Decrypt9WIP:

• MD5: 8f253dddef53fa682c48cb168e59b160 (matches No-Intro)

Could you all report your redump verifications to no-intro?
This is not about piracy but preservation, there are never enough verifications.

What you need is:
*Name the dumping tool and revision of it
*photo/scan of the front of the cart
*photo/scan of the back of the cart
*scanning your dump with gameheader
*posting these results on the no-intro forum

[d0k3]

Thanks, @GerbilSoft! So... that leaves us with one indumpable title, which is pretty annoying. I'll have to look into this.

[tetsuo55]

not exclusive dsi related.

But have you confirmed NTR-031 (ir enabled) titles are dumped correctly?

[d0k3]

Well... this has already been tested with a lot of carts, and there were never any negative reports about IR enabled gamecarts. Can you either test dump yourself or name a few titles that are IR enabled?
